North Myrtle Beach, SC • Kind Keeper No-Kill Animal Rescue
Jade (now known as Lucy) came to Kind Keeper Animal Rescue (KKAR) mid March 2019 from another county animal shelter. All of the paperwork stated that the animal had been an owner surrender and was 7 months old at the time of surrender to the other county. Her paperwork also stated that she was tested and was heart worm negative. When Jade (Lucy) arrived at KKAR her fur was very matted with feces and outdoor debris embedded into the mats. We groomed her as best we could at the shelter and then took her to a local groomer to make her presentable. Jade (Lucy) was adopted into a wonderful home within a week after her grooming transformation. When Lucy went to Myrtle Beach Animal Hospital to be spayed (per adoption requirements and paid by KKAR) she developed significant complications with bleeding and it was discovered that she was heart worm positive. Dr. Isabelle Ying also believed that rather than being 18 months old, that sweet Jade (Lucy) was closer to 5 years old. Needless to say, the new owner was devastated by the heart worm diagnosis and expensive treatment options.

Winn Dixie came to us from another shelter. She had a mild cough. A lovely family put in an adoption application for Winn Dixie. Winn Dixie was checked thoroughly by our vet. Due to the family having an immuno comprimised family member, it was very important to ensure Winn Dixie did not have any respiratory illness that could be transmitted to humans. Winn Dixie spent a few days in the animal hospital to receive antibiotics and to run tests for possible illnesses that could be transferred to humans. the results of the lab work eventially cleared Winn Dixie for going to her adoptive home. She is a very sweet and loving young dog.
